Battle Through the Heavens and Earth

Chapter 81: Detection

The appearance of the Blood Clotting Powder, like a thunderbolt, swiftly ate up over half of the market share for healing medication and allowed the Xiao Clan's marketplaces to not only recover their popularity, but to surpass it within two days.

Two days after the debut of the "Blood Clotting Powder", the Jia Lie Clan had gradually reduced the price of the "Return the Spring Powder" back to what it was initially. However, the profiteering practice of the Jia Lie Clan just days before had repulsed many mercenaries, resulting in their marketplaces failing to return to the bustling places they once were.

Since Wu Tang City was close to the edge of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the scale of mercenaries the city needed was very large. Moreover, the Magical Beast Mountain Range was filled with danger, stimulating an extremely great demand for healing medicine. Hence, despite the Xiao Clan snatching over half the market share for healing medicine, the Jia Lie Clan continued to remain profitable. Yet, when compared to the past, the profit has shrunk to half of what it was...

......

The furious sales of the healing medicine had far outstripped the expectations of the Xiao Clan which was venturing into this profession for the very first time. Every day, the market's "Blood Clotting Powder" would be quickly purchased in the morning by the mercenaries who had been waiting beforehand. By the afternoon, all of the healing medicine would have been sold out. At this time, the mercenaries who had failed to buy any "Blood Clotting Powder" had little choice but to go to the Jie Lie Clan's marketplace to purchase the slightly inferior "Return of Spring Powder."

With the indirect help from the overwhelming demand of healing medicine from the mercenaries, the Jia Lie Clan barely managed to survive the fierce retaliation of the Xiao Clan. However, their respective futures would ultimately hinge on who had a greater stock of medicine.

......

Sitting in the Meeting Room, Xiao Yan helplessly watched Xiao Zhan, who could not stop grinning. Shifting his gaze slightly, he found that the three elders were also full of smiles. Silly laughter also continuously penetrated the hall. The cause of all of this was the stock of "Blood Clotting Powder" that Xiao Yan had delivered that morning under the disguise of the black robed man.

"Ha Ha! The sales of the "Blood Clotting Powder" was simply too crazy. Had the esteemed elder not delivered another batch, I'm afraid that our warehouse would be empty by now." Xiao Zhan smiled as he held a green bottle with both hands in a manner that suggested he was holding a treasure.

"True. In only a few days, our marketplace's popularity had more than doubled what it was at our peak. The losses we previously suffered have slowly been recovered. Hehe, adding the sales from the healing medicine... The profit from the last few days already amounts to about two months of our previous income." The usually quiet first elder was unable to control himself and became talkative in the face of such a huge gain; the wrinkles on his aged face were like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded. Turning his head to face the seated and slightly bored Xiao Yan, he could not help but reprimand: "You little rascal, you always disappear when the esteemed elder is here. Why can't you be less active and stay put at home?"

Being wrongfully scolded, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes while helplessly thinking, "If I did not move around, where would you get the healing medicine from?"

"Ai, the esteemed elder is too generous. Luckily, I managed to inquire about the ingredients needed. Moving forward, we will be responsible for the ingredients. The Xiao Clan has already obtained so much from him. If we are too greedy, I'm afraid that it will do us more harm than good." Xiao Zhan muttered as he took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
